Cryomassage is a type of massage involving the application of superficial cold to body tissue,[1] typically using ice or liquid nitrogen.
[2] As a cryotherapy technique, cryomassage has been used to treat physical injury,[3] skin disorders[1] such as rosacea and facial erythrosis (redness),[2] and facial nerve neuropathy.
General cryomassage is said to initiate tissue regeneration and repair, improve muscular blood circulation, and reduce inflammation.
[1] As with other cryotherapy, cryomassage can induce an analgesic effect.
[5][6] In cosmetology, cryomassage is performed with liquid nitrogen.
